Assessing Manual Transmission Condition
I am doing the same thing basically. I cleaned up my five speed and replaced the seals at both ends. It shifts smoothly and seems solid and the previous owner removed it to add a BW tranny even though the original was working fine. Everyone seems to think the original parts are stronger/more reliable than the ones available in rebuild kits. I was advised to run it as is until there is a reason to open it and replace the OEM parts inside.

BAT 1970 240Z HLS30-04930
Here’s the $69,000 question.... What do you (collectively) personally think the car should have sold for? I still say it was a $30,000 car tops.

Truly unbelievable. I would have said $30k tops...

Price hasn’t moved so I guess there’s a lot of talk and not much action by these “experts” in the comments section on BaT.

BAT 1970 240Z HLS30-04930
I dunno. The car is in great shape but I think it surpassed its value in bidding so far. The door dents and other multiple non working components leave a lot to be desired. I thought it was a $30,000 car tops.

Restoration Unveiled Today 08.17.2019
Honestly, I see more cars at shows north of $50,000 in restoration costs WITHOUT labour factored in, I'm not surprised anymore. It will always be cheaper to buy someone else's finished product than to do it yourself....

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-datsun-240z-43/ This car is going north quickly. Wonder where the price will end up? Currently at $39,000....

Restoration Unveiled Today 08.17.2019
My friend paid a shop to restore his 260Z over the course of 5 years. He sent cheques every month and paid for the work by the hour.... In the end his car was north of $140,000 Cdn, mostly for the hourly work. He paid $30,000 for the engine alone. This is not a hobby for the faint of heart.... or shallow of pocket.
